私たち人間は社会のなかで多かれ少なかれ限られた「区画」の中で生きている．区画の外に出れば楽しいことが待っていること、新しい刺激を受けること、そしてそれらが人としての成長に繋がりうることを知っている．高度に専門化した区画と区画の間でコミュニケーションを可能にする手段は、様々ある．音楽はことばに頼らずに人と人を結びつけるパワフルな媒体だ．
音楽会に行ってみたい、でも入場料が高〜い、演奏会場が遠〜い、って思っていませんか？ワンコイン（学生５００円：一般１，０００円）で近くのホールで良質な音楽を提供する”のが「ワンコイン市民コンサートシリーズ実行委員会」の主旨です．大阪大学には豊中キャンパス．吹田キャンパス、箕面キャンパスの三つのキャンパスがあります．会場となる大阪大学会館 Osaka University Hallは豊中キャンパス内に誕生しました．大阪大学近隣の池田市、吹田市、豊中市、箕面市の市民など市民に月に一度、音楽を聴きに気軽にホールに来て頂きたい．それが実行委員会の願いです．他の市町村にお住まいの方、大阪大学の教員・職員の方にも来て頂きたい．
「ワンコイン市民コンサートシリーズ実行委員会」の企画に賛同して下さる方が大阪大学内外で１００名を越えました．応援ありがとうございます．コンサートシリーズが始まり、演奏を聴かれた方の中から賛同して下さる方が生まれることを願っています．よろしくお願いします．
We human beings, in a broad sense, all live in limited compartments. Though we know if we venture to get out of our compartment, we will be able to enjoy something new to us, something that stimulates us, and mostly importantly that all those new experiences nurture us, we unfortunately have least chances of such. Music is an outstanding and powerful medium that enables us to communicate between highly specialized compartments, owing to non-verbal properties, with few exceptions such as operas, songs and so on.
You often say you want to go to a concert. However, don't you feel hesitated and give it up, complaining the tickets are so expensive, and the concert halls are distant from your place. What if one coin, 500 yen for students and two coins for non-students, are enough to enjoy a concert? The executive committee for the "One-coin Concert Series for All" has an activity slogan "Good music with one coin".Osaka University has three campuses, that is, Toyonaka Campus, Suita Campus and Minoh Campus. The concert venue, Osaka University Hall, is located on the Toyonaka Campus and hence pretty accessible for the citizens of nearby Ikeda City, Suita City, Toyonaka City and Minoh City. The committee members would like you to come over to the concert to be planned monthly. Those working for Osaka University and the students, please remember you are also a citizen. Of course we would like to welcome those who live in the other areas.
At this moment, we have more than 100 advocates who kindly support "One-coin Concert Series for All" in many regards. The advocates include persons studying at and working for Osaka University, and the nearby citizens. We are grateful for your understandings and hope for another 100 in the near future.
